Changes in arterial blood ketone body ratio (KBR) were investigated in 47 human liver transplantations. Of the 20 grafts preserved with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution, 10 had a cold preservation period of less than 10 h (UWS group) and 10 of more than 10 h (UWL group). In 27 other cases, grafts were preserved with EuroCollins (EC) solution for less than 10 h (EC group). In the EC group, KBR...... hiện toàn bộ
Hormonal changes in brain death and immune activation in the donorTransplant International - Tập 13 - Trang S282-S285 - 2000
K. Lopau, J. Mark, L. Schramm, E. Heidbreder, C. Wanner
Kidneys obtained from brain dead donors show inferior graft survival compared to living donation. The effects of brain death itself are thought to be partly responsible for these results. We, therefore, examined levels of catecholamines, the vasoconstricting hormones AT II, ET-1 and renin activity, pituitary hormones, and their correlation to pro-inflammatory cytokines and cytokine receptors.

Tacrolimus versus cyclosporin A: a comparative study on rat renal allograft survivalTransplant International - Tập 12 - Trang 92-99 - 1999

Although tacrolimus has been studied in a wide variety of experimental animal models, we are the first group to systematically study the effect of tacrolimus on rat renal allograft survival, as primary therapy and as anti-rejection therapy, in comparison with cyclosporin A (CyA). Renal grafts were transplanted from BN to LEW rats. Tacrolimus and CyA were administrated orally from day 0 for 50 day...... hiện toàn bộ
The incidence and management of biliary complications following liver transplantation in childrenTransplant International - Tập 8 - Trang 388-391 - 1995

Biliary complications following liver transplantation are a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. During the period 1988–1993 ten cases of biliary complications occurred after 98 transplantations in 78 children. The complications were four bile leaks, three intrahepatic biliary strictures (one with recurrent cholangitis), two anastomotic biliary strictures (one with recurrent cholangitis) ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cystectomy and orthotopic ileal neobladder in a male patient 12 years after kidney transplantation; good preservation of the renal functionTransplant International - Tập 17 - Trang 97-100 - 2003

In case of cystectomy, some forms of urinary diversion can impair the graft function of renal transplant patients. Here we present the case of a 70-year-old male with carcinoma of the bladder 12 years after renal transplantation. Immunosuppression was achieved with Cyclosporin A (200 mg/day) and Prednisone (5 mg/day). The patient’s serum creatinine level was 1.4 mg/dl. Following cystectomy, an ort...... hiện toàn bộ
Simultaneous splenectomy increases risk for opportunistic pneumonia in patients after liver transplantationTransplant International - Tập 15 - Trang 226-232 - 2002

Life threatening pneumonias after liver transplantation are often caused by opportunistic pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila, Pneumocystis carinii, Aspergillus species and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Due to the high incidence of morbidity and mortality caused by these pneumonias we reviewed 700 liver transplants for risk factors for the development of opportunistic pneumonia. Immunosuppression wa...... hiện toàn bộ
Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of triple human complement regulating proteins (DAF, MCP and CD59) in the xenogeneic porcine-to-human transplantation modelTransplant International - Tập 15 - Trang 212-219 - 2002

In this study, the adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of triple human complement regulating proteins was investigated in xenogeneic pig liver perfusion. The porcine liver was perfused in situ at 4 °C under a pump-driven veno-venous shunt of the portal vein and inferior vena cava, with 5 to 15×1011 plaque-forming units (pfu) of adenovirus vector (group 1: AxCALacZ; 2: AxCACD59; 3: AxCACD59 + AxCADAF...... hiện toàn bộ
